What does the Bible say About The Sun?
Have you ever considered the connection between the sun and the Son? The sun brings us from darkness into light, just as the Son takes Christians from darkness to light. The sun provides the light we need to sustain life, while the Son offers eternal life through His sacrifice. The sun stands at the center of our solar system, much like the Son resides at the center of a believer’s heart. The sun is a star, and the Son is the Star of David. The sun illuminates the sky, while the Son lights our hearts, enabling believers to shine brightly. All praise to Jesus’ name—He is so good! Thank God for the beautiful creation of the Sun, which reflects the glory of the Son, Jesus Christ! Take a moment to worship Jesus. It’s all about Him, for everything was created by Him and for Him.
